: : I like this thought! Especially since I have to work tomorrow -- no Fourth of July for me. Oh well. Here's another brief poem on drinkery that a friend of mine had sent me. Somebody break out a Rolling Rock or a Guinness for me tomorrow...

: Drink, drink whilst ye have breath!
: For there is no drinking after death! 
: (unknown British or Scottish source)


: : : : : : Here's one appropriate to the type of day I have had.....

: : : : : : If all be true that I do think,
: : : : : : There are five reasons we should drink:
: : : : : : Good wine - a friend - or being dry - 
: : : : : : Or lest we should be by and by - 
: : : : : : Or any other reason why.

: : : : : : (Henry Aldrich, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford 1647-1710)

: : : : : SOUNDS LIKE WE SHOULD BREAK OUT THE TEQUILA!!!!  HEY CLABERT!
: : : : : SHE NEEDS SOME MORE OF YOUR WINE.

: : : : Now, where's that peach brandy.......?

: : : *****************
: : : Brandy??  Brandy??  Naw, that's not peach brandy in that bottle on top o' my fridge...yeah, I know it LOOKS like peach brandy, but it's not...honest...no, really!  Well...OKAY, so it IS the left-over peach brandy!  After all,
: : : "I ain't as green as I am cabbage-looking!"  (to quote the good Scotswoman, Miss Katie O'Arbroath!), and when I saw that bottle sittin' there all lonely & half-empty like that, I knew just the perfect place for it to end up!  

: : : hehehe...hic!
: : : MMMM

: : Good Evening, Miss Marcia,

: : Just stopped by to see if you'd like to enjoy some Fourth of July Fireworks with me?  (Not that we've declared Independence yet, it being only 1757, but I always say no time like the present to start practicing.)  Perhaps we could invent the tradition.
